Registration is Closed for this Workshop

Workshop seats are allocated on a first-come, first served basis.

The Association for Institutional Research (AIR) is hosting a one day IPEDS Workshop for experienced IPEDS Keyholders* . Financial support for this workshop is provided by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES).

The recently redesigned Best Practices for Reporting and Using IPEDS Data to Improve Office Efficiencies workshop provides intermediate-level Keyholder training. The first half of this workshop features best practices in IR, and technical efficiencies in data management through Excel (e.g., pivot tables, merging data, custom formulas, and filters) and in review and submission of IPEDS survey data. The second half of the workshop expands on the use of IPEDS data for benchmarking to address key institutional questions and needs. This workshop is specifically designed for individuals who lead IPEDS data submissions at their institutions, and have done so for at least one full reporting cycle. Participants should have experience with the “Use the Data” section of the NCES website, and a working knowledge of Excel (e.g., how to create basic formulas and sort data). This workshop will not review IPEDS survey component submission instructions or cover basic benchmarking concepts (though intermediate topics are addressed).

*This Workshop curriculum is intended for both officially designated IPEDS Keyholders as well as individuals that serve in a secondary (proxy Keyholder) role assisting the official IPEDS Keyholder in the data collection/entry process.

Funding for this workshop is provided by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES).
